A simple, classic juice with excellent flavor from the sweet beets, nutrient-dense kale leaves, tangy lemons, and juicy apple. You probably already know this by now, but beets and kale are unbelievably good for you! Beets contain a naturally occurring compound called betain that helps protects cells, proteins, and enzymes from environmental stress. It’s also known to help fight inflammation, protect organ health, improve cardiovascular health, enhance performance, and may help to prevent numerous chronic diseases.
